a simpler view of text writer table wider than 32 col losing brains in export 
problem

SEE ATTACHED H3.DOC

in OO text writer 3.1.0m11 vista HB v6 b6001  sp1

just a simpler look at the complex table losing its brains when saved as 
w97 .doc file.  This is a simpler view with less mess. ref 104017 (sorry i 
couldnt readily see how to add this to existing discrepancy report.

TO REPRODUCE
open this file (or create new file with table 1 row, 32 col, type unique 
character in each field(or just in the last column),I used a-b, A-F) save it 
w97doc, drop the window, reopen, appears OK, then...)

click in last col "F"
insert col (after) 
note new col is #33
click in new cell
type "G"
saveas new named file (w97 doc)
close win
open newly saved file
table is now 32 col and the G is now out in the cold below the table

expect table to have same dimensions, same number of elements, and same data 
after saving and reopening in word97 doc format.



Just an aside:
please note that after reading the notation  made on my issue #104017 about 
this being a problem with complex tables that did not exist in 3.0 I dumped 3.1 
installed 3.0 reworked my project so that it was nice and clean.  saved many 
versions as doc but never dumping my window. almost as an afterthought I went 
to saveas odt but it blew up.  my doc/w97 files all had crap for tables.  (so i 
just dont learn from mistakes.)  the problem seemed to be worse in 3.0 but 
different when boiled down.  if I created a table of any dimension, lets say 
1x1 (with sides on each, right and left margin) then drag the left side (margin 
too) of the table to the right an inch maybe, upon saving doc/w97 (exit window) 
then reopening I found the right margin had moved the same distance to the left 
so the table had less width than when I saved the doc.  subsequent 
save/drop/reopen operations caused the single celled table to shrink by this 
amount until the table poofed out of existence and the contents were left 
sitting there staring at me wondering where its table had gone.  so much for 
3.0.

so, is there any way to save my text doc w97 format with tables wider than 32 
columns?  dont care what version.  did it work in any version i can download?
